My husband and DailyOM co-founder Scott Blum has just released his film, WALK-IN, with Hay House. You can watch it on-demand instantly, or order the DVD by clicking below. I hope you enjoy this truly thought provoking film!

You may find yourself on the receiving end of compliments today, even if you feel you have done little to warrant such praise. It may be that the people around you are beginning to notice all of your hard work or the kindnesses you have done others. The recognition they offer may initially do little more than warm your heart, however, as you likely feel strongly that validation needs to come from within first. Consider that the acknowledgment thrust upon you today may be a sign that you are ready to move forward in your personal or professional efforts. This can be a good time to extend your efforts to see where your courage takes you.

The validation we receive from outside sources can be wonderfully motivating. While our intentions must ultimately be formulated within, the encouragement the people with whom we share our environments give us can be the catalyst that convinces us to reach out toward our dreams. We should not, however, allow this praise to cause us to become overconfident because it is likely that everything worthwhile that we desire will come to us through hard work and diligence. Acknowledgment serves to remind us that we are capable of achieving great feats of strength and endurance when we apply ourselves to the objectives before us. Thus reassured, we are ready to once again extend ourselves into the vast fields of the unknown. Recognition will help you trust in yourself today as you realize that the praise that comes your way is sincerely meant.
